Ruben Amorim makes his move: ex-Sporting boss shines in England | OneFootball

Almost a month after Ruben Amorim was dismissed from his position as head coach of Manchester United's first team, following a first half of the season that fell short of expectations, the former Sporting coach – who has two more contract renewals in the pipeline – surprises by taking a 'vow of silence'.

In England, there was an expectation that the Portuguese coach might come forward to explain exactly what happened for the relationship between both parties to deteriorate so suddenly, but so far, he has never addressed the matter. Nor will he do so, at least in the near future, according to information reported this Wednesday by the British newspaper Daily Mail.

The publication cites a "well-placed source in Portugal" to ensure that the Ribatejo native will not break his silence, at least until the end of the current 2025/26 season, with the clear purpose of not disturbing the work that his successor, Michael Carrick, has been developing at Old Trafford.

The first two weeks of the former England international on the Red Devils' bench could not have gone better, as he won all three matches played so far, against Manchester City (at Old Trafford, 2-0), Arsenal (at the Emirates Stadium, 2-3), and, most recently, Fulham (at Old Trafford, 3-2).

As a result, the team has risen to fourth place in the Premier League (the last spot that guarantees a place in the next edition of the Champions League), with 41 points collected after 24 rounds. Ahead of them are only Arsenal (with 53 points), Manchester City (with 47), and Aston Villa (with 46).
